Nicholas Emery, who is on the town team and involved with the town centre forum, said: “It’s about creating a place that people want to feel part of – a sense of community so that people feel proud to say they are from Nelson.”

And Coun Nadeem Younis, chairman of Nelson area committee, added: “Nelson is a town on the up. Getting help and advice from TV celebrities like Mary Portas and Azhar Siddique from The Apprentice will make a difference.”`

It might be a good idea if she took a trip round Southfield ward. On the other hand it might not!

SHOPPING guru Mary Portas is to visit Nelson for the first time next week to see where her £100,000 has been spent.

Save a bit of time just show her a drain that's were the moneys gone. :-)

Hmm, Mary Portas, your not going to get nelson back on its feet until LCC and North Yorkshire CC, full support the reopening of the Colne to Skipton rail line, which will once again bring people in to this area from both Leeds and Manchester, it all about connectivity to your City Region, at the min Pendle isn't, the X43 to Manchester will not do this due to the time it takes to get there, you have to get the commute time down to 59 Min and no more, rail is the only option for this.

I see the Todmorden Curve project isn't going to benefit anyone here in Pendle. so why have they spent over 4 Million on it, the only people to benefit will be those that live in Burnley or Accrington.

Pendle should have been included in this Rail Project, Accrington did not need the fast link to Manchester, as it already has a fast link going via Preston.

The Time table should have been like this, Colne, Nelson, Brierfield Burnley Central, Rose Grove, then Burnley Manchester Road to Todmorden and Manchester.

Once Again Pendle gets kicked in the Teeth by Lancashire CC and the Government.

h line to Skipton is not financially viable unless one is to believe the figures dreamed up by the supporters of the plan,,
